For materials, you need a computer installed with ZBrush, Cinema 4D, and an image editing program such as Photoshop. Also, you will need a render engine; Zigor will use Octane, but you can use the one you like best.

I appreciate very much the choices and the overall style of those courses, syntethic and useful. Octane was a bit difficult to achieve but it isn't so hard to work even without it. Hope to follow e new course from Samaniego.
